Hi All,
Well I brewed a lager at the weekend, and to try something different I used a packet of liquid wyeast, (which was 6 months old)
Now I noticed the smack pack didn't really expand after a few hours, but I poured it in and set the fermentation temp to 12c and left it to do its thing.
Now three days on I see no signs of any yeasty life or activity, so I've now added 2x packets of Saflager W-34/70 dry lager yeast, of course a different yeast type, but what do you think? Bad idea, will the lager be already spoiled ? or fingers cross and see what happens?
